So my tea is in my tummy, the baby is bathed and snuggling with her dad and the house is peaceful. I love these moments when the world doesnt seem to exist and we all just slide into quiet. I spend so much of my day singing and dancing, jumping and cheering, trips to the potty trips to the ballpool, hugs and cold compresses and finding lost dummies and muslin squares. There is not alot of time in my day where I can pause and say "thank you Lord for your goodness and your mercy, for your abounding grace and love!" So I like to use this time to go over what I am thankful for and how thankful I am for it.
I am so grateful for my God my protector and providor, my comforter and refuge.
I am so grateful for my husband who is also the things mentioned above as well as my lover and my best friend.
I am grateful for my beautifully perfect daughter who makes every part of my day worth living, and who has overcome so much and really is the pride of my life.
I am grateful for this new life growing inside me, the life that miraculously chose now to show up and become a person. This new chance to start over and try this pregnancy again.
I am grateful for the roof over my head and the food in my house there are so many who arent as fortunate as I am.
I am grateful for my job...yes even that lol I am grateful to have a steady income and a job that I am fortunate to love most days and children to look after that remind me why it is important to be young.
Most of all I am grateful for my ability to be myself whether myself is dragged out of bed and looks horrible or myself is glowing and radiant...I am so thankful to be able to be me....crazy quirky and odd but unique...ME
So in the quiet I say "thank you Lord, I love you and I am grateful for all that you do in my life!"
